Urge BOEM to move forward with approval for the South Fork Wind Farm
New York is poised to be a global leader in the fight against climate change, but we cannot get there without embracing offshore wind. On the South Fork of Long Island, a projected increase in energy demand necessitates either an offshore wind farm or new fossil fuel power plant. LIPA’s approval of the South Fork Wind Farm allows for the increased energy demand to be achieved with renewable energy and not with a new fossil fuel power station. This project will bring 130 MW of renewable energy to Long Island.
Your voice is needed! The U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) released the draft Environmental Impact Statement and is set to make a decision on whether to move forward with the project by the end of the year. Dozens of studies are already completed to ensure the project is responsibly developed, mitigates potential impacts on wildlife, and protects the coastline.
Now we need you to speak up in support of the South Fork Wind Farm.
Submit public comment to BOEM today. Urge the US Bureau of Ocean Energy Management to ensure the South Fork Wind Farm moves forward quickly and provides reliable, clean power to Long Island.
Thanks for taking action. Together we make a difference!
Sincerely,
Your friends at CCE
